Assalamu 'alaikum,

       Ok, how would u guys answer these questions:

1. Should a *housewife* (living in the West) be involved in Da'wah work?
   If yes, why? If no, why not?

2. How can she be involved in Da'wah work? meaning what exactly can she do?

Wassalam.

the bestesteststest dawah any *woman* can do, *housewife* or not..is to raise really *good* *practiscing* *intelligent* *Muslim* *thinkers*. Its absolutely essential. The kids out there today, from both kindsa households (working/nonworking moms) are so clueless to the point its depressing :( doing this alone is more than a fulltime job...its overtime.

If she doesn't have any kids, then maybe if she has *some* knowledge and capacity she can teach other Muslim kids, who are in dire need as well.

I was really frustrated today, and talked to my Imam about Dawah, and activisim and how bogged down I feel not having the time to do those things..etc. He told me some real simple and beautiful advice..Dawah is how you carry yourself, how you interact with your family, neighbors, the shop keepers, the people at the Masjid, the youth, the old and the young. He said more than preaching to people, we *need* good examples and if you can facilitate that you have done a lot to the community. He said even serving your husband and family is more than enough Dawah, establishing a good home where Malaika like to descend is awesome Dawah..etc.

I left the Masjid feeling really at peace. May Allah help us become good role models and raise children who are much better than us in being the standard bearers of Islam.

your sis in struggle, :-)

Salaams,

Dawah for a housewife including what Sis Nur has said:

One prepare food for the homeless and send it to em
Write letters of support to sisters in prison, muslim and non
Write letters to crumy congressmen and tell em to spend more money on education rather than military
Carry out E-Dawah, by mentoring kids online via email or web
Support new muslims or other muslims new to the town or area by establishing a dawah network
Help clean the mosque(ladies section only)
Help in local muslimah projects, Jannah does a ton of these ask her
Look after hubbys stomach and the kids.

Salaams

Hanif
